Chapter 77: 077 That idiot Cheng Jia
Translator: 549690339
This night, the most exhausted one was Little Liu!
He spent the entire night at Cheng Jia’s home, where Cheng Jia had “comfortably” soaked in the bath all night – albeit in cold water.
Late into the night, she fell asleep from exhaustion.
Awoken by the cold in the clear morning, she found herself sleeping in the bath with an excruciating headache, despite the effect of the medicine having worn off.
Seeing Little Liu asleep on the living room sofa brought back the memories of the previous night. On the surface, it was MO Xiuchen and Little Liu who had brought her home, but in reality, MO Xiuchen had not even helped her once.
Upon entering the house, MO Xiuchen instructed Little Liu to drag her into the bathroom. Though she was distraught, she knew what to do. She broke free from Little Liu and flung herself at MO Xiuchen, begging him to help her.
In the end, she was dragged into the bathroom by MO Xiuchen and Little Liu, and cold water was poured over her head…
She could no longer remember when MO Xiuchen left. The ring of a sudden incoming call interrupted her reminiscing. The ring also woke Little Liu up, who sat up to reach for the phone on the coffee table.
“I will answer it.”
Cheng Jia staggered over to the phone. Little Liu, not looking at her
sopping-wet clothes, indifferently said, “Now that Miss Cheng is awake, I’m leaving.”
“Wait a while.”
After glancing at the caller ID and hanging up, Cheng Jia stopped Little Liu who was about to leave.
“Does Miss Cheng need anything else?”
Little Liu turned around, looking at her expressionlessly.
Cheng Jia frowned in discomfort. Emerging from the cold water with clothes on, her body uncontrollably trembled, making her speech somewhat shaky, “What happened to me last night?”
“All I know is that Miss Cheng said she felt hot last night. As for the rest, I am not clear. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave.”
After Little Liu finished speaking, he quickly strode away without any intention to stay longer.
With the door closed, Cheng Jia sneezed a few times. She picked up the phone, rushed into the bedroom, stripped off her clothes, wrapped herself in a blanket, and only then returned the call she had hung up.
MO Xiuchen and Wen Ran were having breakfast when the phone suddenly rang.
He put down the toast, took out his phone, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth when he saw the caller ID. He asked Wen Ran, who was sitting opposite him, “It’s Little Liu, looks like Cheng Jia is awake. Do you want to know the latest update?”
Wen Ran’s mouth twitched slightly, and she put on a cooperative smile, “Of course!”
The smile on MO Xiuchen’s face spread at her answer. Pressing the answer button, he put the phone on the table and greeted, drinking the milk in front of him.
“Young Master, Cheng Jia has woken up and the effects of the drug are gone.
Can I go home now?”
Little Liu’s voice came through the phone. He did not dare to come back without MO Xiuchen’s permission.
“Is she okay now?”
MO Xiuchen’s fingers unconsciously stroked the cup with a faint smile. His eyes landed on Wen Ran as he asked nonchalantly.
“Mmm, she fell asleep in the bath in the middle of the night. It was only ten minutes ago that she woke up, looking nothing less than flustered.”
Little Liu reported the details of Cheng Jia’s situation, hoping that it would amuse his young master and he’d be allowed to come home. He had spent the night in Cheng Jia’s home and, although dozed off on the couch for a few hours, it was nothing compared to sleeping in his own bed at home.
“After I left, didn’t she ask for your help?”
MO Xiuchen asked teasingly. Did anything happen between Cheng Jia and Little Liu last night that she would later regret her actions?
“Young Master, don’t joke about it. She likes you, not me,” Little Liu said with a bitter smile.
Wen Ran froze slightly at her movement of stuffing food into her mouth. Seeing MO Xiuchen’s eyes blink, she lowered her head, concealing her amusement.
The handsome face of MO Xiuchen darkened instantly, ending the conversation abruptly, “You may come back!”
“Thank you, Young Master, I will be back right away.”
On the other end of the phone, Little Liu sounded as if he had received a decree, thanked him joyfully.
After the call ended, Wen Ran curiously asked, “Cheng Jia has been soaking in cold water all night. Wouldn’t she catch a cold?” MO Xiuchen squinted at her, “You still care about her?”
She is the one who saved your life. If anyone should care about her, it’s you. Besides, what happened last night was at your house, so she will definitely demand an explanation from you.”
At the MO Family residence
When MO Zixuan came downstairs, he saw the housemaid squatting in front of the living room sofa, cleaning up fragments of a crystal cup scattered all over the floor. Xiao Wenqing was sitting on the leather couch with a visibly angry face.
“Mom, who made you angry again? Where’s dad?”
MO Zixuan’s gaze swept over the crystal cup fragments scattered all over the floor and looked at Xiao Wenqing in the couch with an inquiring gaze.
Xiao Wenqing looked up at MO Zixuan and coldly said, “Your father left early in the morning.”
“So, what are you so upset about early in the morning? It can make you age faster, you know.”
A look of bewilderment surfaced in MO Zixuan’s eyes. Standing tall a few meters away from the sofa, he stared at Xiao Wenqing.
“Who else could it be but that idiot, Cheng Jia? She had such a good opportunity last night, yet she wasted it and ended up being thrown into a bath of cold water for the entire night.”
Xiao Wenqing said resentfully. If she had known Cheng Jia was so incompetent, she wouldn’t have gone to great lengths to choose her.
MO Zixuan’s eyes darkened, and he asked displeasedly, “Did you drug MO
Xiuchen last night? Mom, didn’t I tell you not to interfere?”
Xiao Wenqing snorted coldly, dismissively declaring, “If I don’t interfere, MO Xiuchen will have a son with Wen Ran. Then where would you stand in this family?”
MO Zixuan’s face, already grim, darkened further at her words. He hissed through gritted teeth, “Over these years, you tested MO Xiuchen regularly. None of the tests showed any improvements, meaning his condition hasn’t improved. Even if Wen Ran marries him and lives with him for a year, she can’t possibly birth his child.”
Besides, he won’t allow Wen Ran to live with MO Xiuchen for a year. He was determined to win Wen Ran back.
“MO Xiuchen has a friend, Gu Kai, from a century-old medical family. Gu Kai likes to study strange and peculiar things. Perhaps he gave MO Xiuchen the antidote. I don’t know why, but I always feel that MO Xiuchen’s illness is cured.
No, I need to find another way to test him again.”
Why would he marry Wen Ran if he truly was impotent?
And besides, MO Xiuchen was so robust, hardly catching a cold. She found it hard to believe that his condition would never improve.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt there was an issue!
MO Zixuan heaved a sigh, Imowing that nothing he said would work. He coldly left a sentence, “I have something to do, so I’m leaving,” and then walked towards the hall.
“Zixuan, where are you going? Didn’t you and Zhou Lin agree to go get your wedding photos taken today?”
Xiao Wenqing called out anxiously. MO Zixuan acted as if he hadn’t heard her and left without looking back..
